I currently have some sheer fabric hanging over my entire deck for sun protection, but I think it has only got to be something like 20 percent shade. When I am out there in the afternoon, the light is still bright enough to be uncomfortable for me, so I know it is probably too bright for my orchids.

I have a vanda, a neostylus, cymbidiums, cattleya, phals, and paphs. and a den. Along with some epindendrums.

I know they are all needing different lights, but if you use shadecloth, please let me know what percent you use, and what orchids you are growing underneath it.

Lowes or Home Depot has 75% shadecloth, but that seemed like it would block too much sun for the ones requiring brighter light. Um..the elevation here is 4,000 something, if that is of any use.
